## Narrative
While using Tesla’s Auto Park feature, the vehicle struck an obstacle without detecting it before or after impact. The system failed to log a collision event in its detection systems, giving no warning and providing no reasonable opportunity for driver intervention. Data retrieved directly from Tesla confirms that forward/side collision sensors did not activate, “Near Deploy” collision detectors remained inactive, and although a “Crash Algorithm Wake-Up” was triggered, the vehicle did not brake or attempt avoidance.  This represents a potential systemic defect in Tesla’s Auto Park detection logic and/or related hardware that could result in collisions without driver awareness or system logging — a safety risk for any Tesla driver using Auto Park.
